Pink slip in your pay packet.
Your coworkers are always planning a going away party for you.
After x years, your boss still refers to you in the third person in your presence.
Your schedule is erased or crossed out.
Every time you go to a staff party, you find it's not where you were told it would be, and is, in fact, in a different city than the one you just drove over an hour to reach.
You arrive at work and find your parking space has a handicap parking only sign.
Your cubicle has been relocated to the old washroom.
The small fires you've been setting at work are requiring more and more petrol to be "really satisfying."
Your coworkers have stopped planning your farewell party and have started planning their own going away parties.
You are constantly annoyed that your office has no rafters or any other structure from which you can hang a noose.
Your boss tells you that when he told you to "try thinking outside the box," he was in fact referring to your cubicle.
You arrive at work and find that some thoughful person has organized your entire cubicle so that all your stuff fits tidily in a box, which is sitting outside.
I hope this helps you, now I must get back to polishing my guns....
:)
=)

It is time to leave your job and move onto other things when there is no room to grow, nothing else to learn , and when you are not happy with it or perhaps if it is affecting you physically, we know for a fact that all jobs has a stress factor even if you are happy with it you know somewhere along the line there will be stress..
Or sometimes it is time to leave a job when there are better opportunities for you where it is more rewarding in terms of experience and financial point of view....
Lets be real out there okay... when opportunity knocks... open it strike while the iron is hot so they say.

You should choose a job that makes you and only you happy. Although you do have to perform the tasks you are asked while at work, if something bigger and better comes along, then it is best that you leave the job. I stayed at a job for over 5 years, and I was completely miserable. I ended up getting a job at a hotel, and I think I found my niche. I love it here, and it is very rewarding. You need to find a job that is something you enjoy doing, and something you feel is rewarding. You should have a personal relationship with the job, and it should be one that you feel satisfide at. It is ok if you go through 10 jobs before finding the right one, as long as it suits you.

When you feel bored, uninterested & sick when you contemplate going to your job. When the mere thought of being there makes you feel miserable.... Or, if you have acquired a new skill that you know will never be used in your current job. BUT, always make sure you get another job first!! You are more attractive to a potential employer if you are already employed.

You know it's time yo leave when you can't drag yourself there and if you are truly unhappy with what you are doing you won't be doing the job well so it's best to move on.

That is a question only you can answer...
The fact that you even asked that means you have already answered your own question! You just want someone to agree but in your heart you know that it may or may not be time.
Follow your first instinct and don't allow others to make your mind up for you! Be Strong and believe in yourself and back the choices you make!

When to leave a job? The answer can suddenly hit you. Wham!
You've been at it too long when you suddenly realise that you are all work, no thought to smiling. No thought to Boy that was a great day!

you should know if you come to work every day and you're not ever content then that's a sign. Only quit that job if its a threat towards your safety or well being, unless you have another job that can support you also.

When you start dreading going into work in the morning, or you feel you need more challenges or feel under valued then its time to move on! Good luck!
Sounds to me if you are questioning this then its also time to go.

When you are no longer happy in your job. Or if you are still happy there but feel like you are missing something or not going anywhere. If you are feeling like you have nothing else to gain or learn or lose there. When you no longer LOVE what you do.
